Luke 23:43: To-day shall thou be with Me in paradise
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
A Monument of mercy's power,
Rescued by Jesus on the tree.
Saved at the last tremendous hour
One soul, and only one we see,
With brokenness of heart sincere
That all may hope, that all may fear.
He but to be remember'd wants.
The time and all things else he leaves:
More than he asks the Saviour grants,
A kingdom promises and gives,
"I will My majesty display,
And thou shalt reign with Me to-day."
